[edit] Valley News Net

The link on the page to the Valley News Net site does not work. Going to theottawavalley.com and doing a search for "Valley News Net", the first hit is a blank page. Googling on "Valley News Net" brings up 61 unique hits, but most of those are not for this news service. If you do a search for '"Valley News Net" Ottawa', you get 6 unique hits.

  • Delete Claims that it was "put on the map" by bloggers. How about being put on the map by good journalism? Ruby 03:04, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Do Not Delete I am the news director for Valley News Net which is part of TheOttawaValley.com. We are a legitimate news source for the Ottawa Valley and are well recognized in our area. Yes we were put on the map by bloggers but it doesn't mean we don't have good journalism. I corrected the link to the site and it works now. There is no reason this page should be deleted. I should add that we are still very new, we only launched the site in November 2005.User_talk:Tovnd
    • Thank you for making my argument for me. User:Zoe|(talk) 03:16, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: If this article is to be deleted for non-notability, it would make sense to also delete Hendrik Pape for consistency. Both say pretty much the same stuff. --Rob 20:47, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
